Subject: man-pages-3.14 is released
Gidday,
I've released man-pages-3.14.tar.gz - man pages for Linux
This release is now available for download at:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/man-pages
or ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/man-pages
man-pages nowadays also has a public git repository at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/man-pages/man-pages.git
The online changelog is available at
http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/changelog.html
(blogged at
http://linux-man-pages.blogspot.com/2008/11/man-pages-314-is-released.html)
and the current version of the pages is browsable at

Cheers,
Michael

Changes to individual pages
---------------------------
sysctl.2
Michael Kerrisk
Add prominent warning against using this system call
This was already stated under NOTES, but make it even more
prominent by adding a sentence at the start of the DESCRIPTION.
clock_getres.3
Michael Kerrisk
CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID and CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID not settable
According to POSIX.1-2001, the CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID and
CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID clocks should be settable, but
currently they are not.
makecontext.3
Michael Kerrisk
Add text on use of pointer arguments to makecontext()
Passing pointer arguments to makecontext() is possible,
but only on some architectures, and with no guarantees
of portability.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=504699
syslog.3
Masanari Iida
LOG_KERN messages can't be generated from user processes
Masanari notes that this is an FAQ for logger(1) and that
Solaris and FreeBSD document this point in syslog(3).
The glibc info page also hides this comment in its source:
Internally, there is also LOG_KERN, but LOG_KERN == 0,
which means if you try to use it here, just selects default.
tcp.7
Michael Kerrisk
Update description of tcp_rmem defaults for Linux 2.6
Michael Kerrisk
The tcp_bic* proc files disappeared in Linux 2.6.13
Michael Kerrisk
tcp_vegas_cong_avoid disappeared in Linux 2.6.13
Michael Kerrisk
Clarify that tcp_mem measures in units of the system page size
Michael Kerrisk
Update tcp_frto description for 2.6.22 changes
Linux 2.6.22 added a mode value 2 ("Enable SACK-enhanced
F-RTO if flow uses SACK").
Michael Kerrisk
tcp_westwood /proc file disappeared in Linux 2.6.13
Michael Kerrisk
Update description of tcp_wmem defaults for Linux 2.6
